HiI Agree with the advice above.Start networking with investors.

I’m on deal #9 and have just started to have a network big enough to start getting information on off market deals.

Raising money is all about marketing and sales (not real estate specific) so either hire marketing agency and read sales books, or hop on some LinkedIn courses on marketing and sales.Not sure the legal structure to use: talk to accountants and attorneys.Need deal flow: talk to brokers and go to a lot of networking events.Lending terms: start calling banks and loan brokers.From there, it is all risk mitigation. 

We're always looking to expand our network and explore new investment avenues.Regarding meet up groups for real estate investing, there are several options available in the UAE.

I’ve found that leveraging local networking events, investor meetups, and even direct outreach through social media can help bridge that gap.One challenge I had to get creative with recently was navigating a complex title issue on a property.

My first piece of advice would be to always be networking with other wholesalers/investors both online and offline.

I did not see marketing costs, nights that you need to spend at networking meetings paying for dinners or memberships.

To find good deals, consider networking with agents and local investors, as well as using MLS, off-market listings, and auctions.

Focus on getting pre-approved, analyzing deals in both cities, and networking with local investors to refine your approach.

If you’re hesitant about listing on the MLS due to the slow market and concerns with a traditional realtor, consider off-market options like investor networks, Facebook groups, or BiggerPockets forums where buyers specifically look for properties with income potential.
